Odin He is also known under the names Woden and Wotan and I have much more written in the Wotan link. Listed as father of all gods and Head of the Aesir after the death of his father Bor. God of war, poetry, wisdom, and death. He gathered his portion of the slain warriors in Valhalla. He had a spear, Grungir, that never missed. He made sacrifices, including his eye, for the sake of knowledge. He has two brothers named Ve and Vili with whom he ambushed and killed the great evil giant Ymir and then created the world out of his carcass. During the creation of the world, Odin noticed maggots emerging from the carcass of Ymir. He turned them into dwarves and fairies.
